Backpacks for Hope

Event Dates and Times

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will partner with a local charity, Feed by Faith to provide the homeless with basic needs to help prepare for upcoming cooler weather. Individuals, families, and school and church groups are encouraged to participate by assembling backpacks and/or contributing needed items, such as backpacks, gloves, hats, blankets, socks and toiletries. For a complete list of needed items you can refer to Meridian Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Facebook. Drop off dates for contributions will be October 9 and 16 from 6pm-8p.m. at the church. We will be assembling the backpacks October 17 at 6:30 p.m. so they will be packed and ready for delivery to Feed by Faith for distribution.
